Re: Vin # ?

Well..the vins typically start with a C for 2 wd and a K for 4x4..now there are exceptions with special orders and such...but one other thing is in 1972 they vins started with C to mean Chev and a T for GMC...so a 72 4x4 gmc vin would start TKE242***** for example being referred would be a GMC, 4x4, 8 cyl, 3/4, box style, 1972 pickup.

If I've been reading your posts correct I think your swapping 71 stuff....so it will just start with a K on a 4x4 or a 2wd will
start with a C as such for 1971.
